Nothing happens when I cast spells - at all. (Configuration is OK.)
Bug #: 2105

Status: Awaiting Feedback
ATTENTION: JIM is still gathering information about this problem.

Hi there. A significant portion of the players that want to use Cooldown Pulse get no reaction from it at all. I have been unable to determine why, and I plead for ANY and all help! This problem does not occur on my copy of the game, and I have been unable to isolate a common factor from the reports people give me.

It is not class-specific. (It works for some newbie mages, but not for other mages.)

It isn't an AddOn conflict. (Pulse can be the only AddOn enabled, and still not work. Not even Cosmos is a suspect.)

It is not a "German" or "French" problem. (People all over the world have this trouble.)

What can you do to help?

Okay, this is kind of tough, but I have put out a tool for you to use called JIM's Debugger.
Please set up Debugger as its download page describes.

When you have the Test window ready, and you are getting feedback from my AddOns - try JIM's Abacus, if Pulse does not do anything - cast a few spells. For every spell cast, you should see something like this. Not exactly line this, since the numbers will be different - but any missing lines may be the problem:

I believe version 2.0.32 killed this bug! Woot!

I am still hoping for feedback on this particular issue. Did I really fix it? If you use JIM's Debugger to investigate, you will get slightly different output from what I posted last. However, if you should observe the issue I described, note any and all differences from my posting, in a reply to this thread.

Thank you.
